and Social Care Information Centre</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This data should
not be interpreted as a count of people as the same person may have been admitted
on more than one occasion. Reference should be made to the notes when interpreting
the data.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In January 2014 the Government launched the
Mental Health Action Plan, <em>Closing the Gap: Priorities for essential change in
mental health. </em>Of the 25 actions in the plan, one offers a commitment to change
the way front line services respond to self-harm and to ensure that no-one experiencing
a mental health crisis should ever be turned away from services.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>In the revised Public Health Outcomes Framework we have introduced a new indicator
that is specifically about self-harm. Under this indicator, we will measure:</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>- attendances at emergency departments for self-harm per 100,000
population</p><p> </p><p>- percentage of attendances at emergency departments for
self-harm that received a psychosocial assessment.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This
two-part indicator helps us not only understand the prevalence of self-harm but also
how emergency departments are responding. This information can then inform future
commissioning.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department has invested £54 million
into the Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme
(CYP IAPT) over 2011-15/16. The CYP IAPT programme is designed to improve access to
evidence-based psychological therapies for a range of issues, including self-harm,
and the CYP IAPT curriculum includes training in evidence-based treatments for young
people who self-harm.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In December the Government announced
an investment of £30 million per year from 2015-16 to 2019-20 to improve services
for children and young people with mental health problems. This includes improving
access for young people who self-harm to services in their communities with properly
trained teams, making hospital admission a last resort.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The
Government is also investing £30 million in 2015-16 to improve psychiatric liaison
in general hospitals. This will help to ensure young people who present at hospital
after self-harming that could be the result of an underlying mental health condition
are referred for assessment.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>Notes:</em></p><p>

under 18 years who received hospital treatment for self-harm each year since 2010
who were offered a comprehensive assessment of their physical, psychological and social
needs in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines,
and accepted that offer, broken down by each NHS trust in England.</p><p> </p><p>

(FAE) is the first period of inpatient care under one consultant within one healthcare
